CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 28, 2020
Since September 13 our two regular equestrian groups are conducting rallies in limited numbers under strict COVID safe procedures. No other activities on showgrounds until further notice.
The Mansfield A&P Society's AGM normally held in July has been postponed until it is allowed to conduct face to face public meetings. It will be advertised more than two weeks before when the new date will be. Many thanks.
Please note the 2020 Mansfield Show has been cancelled as per the statement below.
June 24 2020
The Mansfield Agricultural & Pastoral executive committee wishes to advise all its members, sponsors, supporters, competitors, and patrons that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Mansfield Show on November 21 due to the ongoing uncertainty with the Coronavirus situation.
This was not an easy decision to make and the committee discussed the various implications if we were to proceed with our normal show day. Considering the Covid-19 pandemic and the many restrictions and requirements needed to be followed; the committee felt this put an unfair burden on those involved in the running of the 2020 show. Our number one priority is the health and safety of everyone including members, volunteers, community patrons, traders, exhibitors, and competitors.
As many people will be aware, the Mansfield district suffered from the huge economic impact of the January bushfires and now the COVID-19 Pandemic has made it a difficult time for many local businesses. The committee agreed that we could not expect sponsorship during such tough times. A big thank you to all our sponsors who continue to support the Mansfield Show year in, year out. We look forward to welcoming you all back in 2021.
On behalf of the Mansfield Agricultural & Pastoral Society I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for their hard work leading up to this decision, the community, sponsors, competitors and exhibitors for your ongoing support and the volunteers who help out every year.
Although there will not be a show this year we are exploring some ideas for some other activities which will be promoted via our Facebook page. While we are disappointed to cancel the show this year after such a successful event in 2019 we hope you understand why we made this difficult decision. As always we say thank you for your ongoing support.
Looking forward to a bigger and brighter Mansfield Show in 2021.
Your faithfully,
Edwin Harris
President.
